Some nice stuff there.  Really highlights the difference between the Fairley and the Garrett.  The Fairleys (the first loco seen in the video) are essentially two complete locomotives joined back-to-back.  The Garretts are two engines under one boiler, akin to more conventional articulateds.  I rode the Festiniog some 30 years ago.  IIRC, the motive power was a 2-6-2 former trench engine.  Still think Bachmann should seriously consider doing a Garrett in On30.
